Chiropractic Care in Brentwood During Pregnancy

When you go through pregnancy, changes that occur in your body and the added weight of your developing baby can lead to considerable discomfort. When you do not want to expose your baby to possible effects from over-the-counter pain relievers, chiropractic care can be a good alternative option. At Maryland Farms Chiropractic, we offer care for pregnant women in Brentwood and Nashville.

Effective Pain Relief During Pregnancy

Back pain, especially in the lower back, is common during pregnancy. As your baby grows larger, this pain can become worse in your second and third trimesters. You might also develop neck pain or upper back pain as your body changes in order to accommodate your baby. If you already have spinal problems that cause chronic pain, pregnancy can make your symptoms worse. This can happen as ligaments in your body loosen up due to hormonal changes.

Chiropractic care can help alleviate back and neck pain through adjustments that align your spine. Your spine might become misaligned when you are pregnant as your body changes. These misalignments might not seem noticeable to you, but they can cause persistent discomfort that affects your day-to-day life. Chiropractic adjustments correct these misalignments, which helps relieve pain and discomfort as you go through pregnancy.

Chiropractic Care for a Healthy Pregnancy

Pain relief is not the only benefit of having chiropractic care while you are pregnant. This type of care can provide you with a healthy pregnancy and easier delivery overall, which helps ensure that your baby is born smoothly and with a lower risk of childbirth difficulties or complications. Chiropractic adjustments might help reduce the amount of time you spend in labor overall. You might also have a lower need for analgesics while giving birth. Other possible benefits include restoring the right nerve supply to your reproductive system after you give birth, helping you maintain balance during pregnancy and making your body stronger while you are pregnant.

Chiropractic Care Safety

Chiropractic care is safe to receive during pregnancy as long as you have a licensed chiropractor perform the adjustments. At Maryland Farms Chiropractic, you can count on having high-quality care done under optimal conditions to help keep you and your baby safe.

Easier Pregnancy & Faster Recovery

Research shows chiropractic care can play a role in an easier pregnancy, including increased comfort during the third trimester and delivery, while reducing need for analgesics. Other studies have shown:

Women receiving chiropractic care throughout their first pregnancy experienced a 24% reduction in labor times

Those giving birth for the second time reported 39% reduction in shorter labor times

The need for analgesics was reduced by 50% in the patients who received adjustments

84% of women report relief of back pain during pregnancy when under chiropractic care
